Submissions for Decision:
Mr Munro stated that RICHARD THE THIRD was challenging in the home straight when at about the 130 metres mark it broke from its gait, and continued in a break until after the finish line. He said RICHARD THE THIRD had galloped in excess of the 50 metres allowable inside the final 200m (Breaking Horse Regs) and had failed to regain its gait promptly (r 870 (3)). He said the driver, Mr N Williamson, had made every attempt to correct the horse’s gait. The connections of RICHARD THE THIRD did not contest the Protest.
Reasons for Decision:
After viewing the films and hearing the evidence of the Stewards the committee is satisfied that RICHARD THE THIRD was in breach of both the Breaking Horse Regulations and r 870 (3). The Protest is upheld.
